excellent service and convenient location

supportive servicehelpful guidancetrustworthy driverfriendly staff
The staff at the front desk offered amazing support. i appreciated the room service and assistance with handling my bags. mr rashid, a manager, gave very helpful guidance for our two-day trip to delhi and agra. he even arranged a trustworthy taxi driver for us. The staff was very friendly and supportive to my kids.
my only minor issue was that the standard double room i booked felt smaller than i expected. it was sometimes difficult for two people to move around comfortably with our luggage. the limited space was a slight inconvenience, but it did not ruin my overall stay.
